    Lift weights and hit the crosstrainer for some HIIT. Eat more protein and less carbs. Replace fast carbs (white bread/pasta/etc) with wholemeal bread/pasta. Avoid alcohol. Good luck
    Pasta is not a 'fast carb', it is a complex carbohydrate, meaning that this will give you longer lasting energy. This is needed for endurance exercise.

    sure, learn basic nutrition, and the laws of thermal dynamics. basic human biology would be useful too.
    Wow, you're helpful. The poster obviously knows little about the subject and wants advice. If she knew the laws of basic nutrition etc she would have done it herself and wouldn't have posted - so instead of putting everyone else down who are genuinely trying to help you could outline what these laws are, seeing as you seem to know so much about the subject.

    Sconter, instead of condesendingly dismissing everything people have said can you give me YOUR suggestion...you must be an absolute expert in these matters to be able to shoot down every other piece of advice given.

    depends on you definition of bull****. if you mean your principles, then largely they are correct, but it is hardly rocket science, if you want to improve you must progress. the substance of what you say was retarded.

    I'm guessing they meant choose wholemeal pasta over white pasta, which makes sense.

    im kind of loathed to because everything she has said makes me think every keystroke i make is wasted.

    Right okay if your such a SMART ARSE, come up with something better yourself. I was giving basic advice, better than you gave with all this 'thermal dynamic ****'. It's called putting it how others will understand, or are you just that up yourself that you don't understand that? I can't be bothered to waste my time on someone that clearly just wants to take the piss out of peoples advice, even when they study the bloody subject. Sort yourself out mate. You're PATHETIC.

    you study the subject, to what level?

    something better? honestly? anything would be better, 10 sit-ups per day for 2 weeks then moving on to 15. if her physical limitations were such, she'd be bed ridden.
    also since you do sports science you will know sit-up are bad for your back, and that spot fat removal is impossible. you would tell her the only way to lose fat is to consume fewer calories than your tdee.

    edit: not to mention the workout has no structure, and makes no sense.

    Well unlike in that scenario I doubt their 'intentions' are going to cause me much harm however misguided you believe them to be. Like I said, if you're all knowing then give me some sound advice...if not then leave me to my ignorant little world of sit-ups.

    If "every keystroke is wasted" then why are you still commenting?
